One of my coworkers lost his baby last week. The baby died only 5 days before he was due. It’s so tragic. Several colleagues of mine and I went to the funeral this week and he will be back to work on Monday.

I told him that him and his family are in my thoughts and prayers and that I was sorry for his loss, but it seems so trite and meaningless....

There is nothing you can say that means anything at all at a time like that.

When I was pregnant with my first child, my neighbor lady (who I didn’t actually meet till many years later) was pregnant with her fourth child. They were due about the same time but she went in for her check up about two weeks before baby was due and they found the baby had died. So sad.
